I really liked this week’s episode! I thought it was an excellent portrayal of so much of the political scandal that goes on in many countries! I loved the Loker/Emily mishap :) Emuly punching Cal…brilliant :D I’m also really excited to see Clara go! She wouldn’t have bothered me so much if she didn’t always stand with her mouth open and lips pursed…

Every week, there are always 2 people that vote the episodes “poor.” I think they do that just to get under our skin.
Not giving anything away, it was excellent! I see a re-watch in our near future! ;)

I really liked this one but I have to admit I felt sorry for poor Loker! Even though Lightman apologized, he stills owes Loker one big time! Yay! No more Clara! Now we just need to get rid of Burnsy and we’re all set again! Go Callian :)

I think Cal was flirting with Gillian a lot in this ep. Loved it!

I liked it. I think I am the only one that is sad to see Clara go. I am holding out that she will recur next season. Great episode though.

Loved the scenes with Loker and Emily, took me by surprise when she kissed him! loved it when Lightman had to be humble with Loker and say–SORRY. Glad Clara will be gone,she Was Not a good fit with Lightman.Very good show. :)

This episode was actually great! It felt like it went by way too quickly. The Emily-Loker scenes were indeed funny and enjoyable. There was definitely plenty of great dialogue between Cal and Gillian too. Seriously, they were so funny together that I liked watching them as friends. Their conversation while walking down the street had me smiling. Well, I didn’t memorize it but this is what I remember.
Cal – “Oh, Clara. Is it that obvious?”
Gillian – “Well how was it?”
Cal – “Honestly?!”
Gillian – “No!”
Gillian – “But back to you and Clara.”
Cal – “Really? It was just a little bit of fun between us.”
Gillian – “Well not from her point of view.”
Cal – “Really, were you there?”

Honestly, I didn’t find this to be quite the best episode ever. It was still extremely fun, but I guess they can’t all be the best.
I think what bothered me was the very trivial nature of SOME of the dialog. I thought the bits with Lightman and Foster were fun, but during the interviews Foster started to sound like she was reciting the “How to Spot a Liar” rulebook:
“You said this…that means that.”
“You said that…that means this…” etc.
Torres had quite possibly the most ridiculous line ever in the series, something like:
“Your flared nostril tells me you didn’t commit the murder!”
I know it’s just a show, but even in fictional Lie-to-Me world, isn’t that stretching a bit?
And this Cal-punches-Loker bit…OK he loves his daughter, that is awesome. I love that, it adds so much depth to his character. But honestly, this was pretty dumb. I’ve also been EXTREMELY disappointed with Loker’s role this season. He went from nice, intelligent Lightman-wannabe to some crazed conspiracy-theorist who never does anything but file papers and watch Lightman work. Is he still working for free, or did I miss something? I honestly think the best option for “drama” would be for him to have told Lightman that he quit. They’d have to resolve that somehow cause I don’t want him to go, but sticking around to do a job for free – then getting slugged by your boss…let’s give him a little dignity, please?
Still, some GREAT moments in the show, and I loved the 7-photo montage of celebrity expressions. So…no offense for those of you who loved this one, this is just some random thoughts from a die-hard fan who just wasn’t as impressed as usual.

I thought this episode was one of the best out of the last few just because it really showed a lighter side of the Lightman Group rather than just them working on a case. It was one of my favorites!
“What if I hadn’t apologized?” *punch!* “Good girl.”

Loved this episode. Lightman on the chair yelling “Oi – Lemmings! Who here’s been shagging the boss” (paraphrasing) got me in fits :)

Yes, loved it too! The plot was great and the interaction between Cal and Gillian just wonderfully thrilling as always! :D I think if they had any more chemistry, they’d explode! And hell, wasn’t he *just* undressing her with his eyes quit a few times?! ;) So adorable <3
The Loker/Emily thing was really cute too and the punch Em gave her day, haha! I just felt a bit sorry for poor Loker! ;)

Okay, yeah I do agree that I’ve been disappointed with Loker’s scenes lately. I do feel bad for the poor guy. He needs a good storyline! Although I do like to focus my attention on Cal and Gillian, Torres and Loker have become such background characters. I could barely remember Torres in this episode after I was done watching it. I’m definitely glad Clara’s gone. She was an interesting character at first, and I guess interesting when she tricked Cal and this was definitely the right way to send her out. I don’t know how I’m supposed to wait a week for the next episode. I’m too used to watching episodes back to back online.

Loved Bullet Bump.Three things in particular…Firstly, Tim Roth is getting sexier by the minute! Secondly, Cal flirting with Foster, awesome! Lastly, the whole Loker/Emily/Cal ending, very cute.
One a side note ,how can there be so much hate for Clara when her existence led to awesome Callian flirting. I really didn’t mind her character, even thought i didn’t particularly want her with Cal. Who can blame her, he is after all, super sexy.
